    Once upon a time, in the early 80's, Casio offered a successful programmable calculator known by the name of FX-180P. As people at Casio's were fond of pionneering experiments, someone there had a luminous idea...
    Here is the tale of someone at Casio's thinking about mathematic tools, like the programmable calculators the company produced; and like scales & rulers that everyone used.
    Here's the tale of the breeding of a good old scale and a modern programmable calculator. Here's the tale of a one-of-a-kind child named FX-190!
    What this machine exactly does, i won't tell, as i have not tested it yet. All i know is that the calculator functions match those of the FX-180; and that the scale part has an LCD display apparently used to set distances to be measured.
    How do the scale part and calculator part interact, i still have to test to know...
